AN ANALYSIS.
An analysis Of the polling shows that
| to-day's contest was unprecedently Stub
born, and as the night advanced the ext
| citement in this city became intense.
| Thousands of people surrounded the
! newspaper offices awaiting special edi-
tions giving the election returns: IL is
| stated that Herren Singer and Hasen-
| clever have each over $4,000 majority in
| this city. In Strasbourg Kable (CenJristl
| received S,262 and Petri 6.69S. Aix-la-
| Cbapelle returns Centrist and Nuremberg
| returns Socialist.
| IN THE COUNTRY.
Second ballots are necessary in Koens
| igsberg, ElDerfeld, Breslau, Lubbock,
| Dresden, Allstadt, Frankfort, Dantzlca
/ Stettin, Cologne and Munich.
Septennists are elected in Bremen,
LeIpsic and Brunswick. The Socialist
| organization has been most COM
plete. The Socialist electors were
brought to the polls In battalions. Two
| Socialists are returned for Breslau. Herr
Richter is returned for Hagen. Prince
Bismarck on appearing at his polling
station in the Second division In this city
| WAS greeted with storm OF cheers. Ac-
cording to the reballot arrangements it,
is probable that Berlin will be represent
ed by three New German Liberals and
three Socialists.
sEPTENNIsT SUCCESS PROBABLE.
BERLIN, Feb. %, 2 A. M.-Correct re-,
| turns from the Second Berlin divisioni
show that Herr Wolf (Septennist) re-
eeived 1892 votes; Herr VIrchow (New
German Liberal 16, T02, and the Socialist
candidate 14,6S9.
The prospects OF the success OF the.
SepJennists are good.
The formidable increase in the number
OF Socialists throughout the Empire is a
prominent fact.
During the day all the approaches 10
the palaces of Emperor William, Grown
| Prince Frederick William, andPrince
Bismarck were barred By police.
A mass meeting was held in TivolL
Hall. at which Prof. Vlrchow made an
address. Police broke up the mes
when Socialist tried TO speak.
In the Fourth division or this city Herr
Singer Socialist) received 2S,956, Eyers
(Septennist) 11,0T1, and Prof. HameI
(new German Liberal) 9,292.
In the sixth division Herr Hasenclever
(Socialist) received 80, 457. Herr Holiz
(Septennist) 1881, and Herr Grellings
| (new German Liberal l,768.
THE NET RESULT.
The net result OF the Berlin voting is
as follows: Socialists. 80, 10, gain of
$4,000; Septennists, 69,SIo; New German
| Liberals, 81, 1884.
The government parties have gained
$4,000 votes aud the New German Liber-
ais have lost 5000.
The returns from the provinces show
Losses by the New German Liberals.
Herr Richter's organ, the Freieeinniqe
Zeitung, consoles the party by declaring
tnat the socialists profit. by Radical
disasters. This, however. is not
exactly the case. Comb bned, the
| Conservative and National Liberal sup
porters of the Septenate, secured many
seats, though there is no clear prospect
OF their having working majority as the
Centrists seemed to have voted in uudi-
minished numbers. Herren Forcken0ec
Bamberger, Stautfenberg and Gen. Won
| Moltke are reelected.
A feature OF the elections is the uu-
usual number Of second ballots necessary,
a tact which proves the closeness oD6e
contests.
The result in Hamburg is a triumph
for the social Democrats, two of whose
candidates are returned by large maiori.
ties. In the Third Hamburg division the
Socialist candidate is ahead, but a second
ballot Is necessary.
